The Scriptural Mandate of the Church of Christ (Updated)
The Church of Christ is a worldwide fellowship of autonomous congregations seeking to restore the New Testament pattern of faith, worship, and financial stewardship. Christ is the sole head of the church, and His Word serves as the final authority over all practices.
1. Name & Mission
- The Church Defined: Jesus promised to build His church, and early congregations wore His name as a sign of ownership (Matthew 16:18, Romans 16:16).
- The Headship: There is no earthly headquarters or human creed; Christ alone rules over His church body (Ephesians 1:22–23).
2. Mandate for Baptism & Salvation
- Forgiveness of Sins: Baptism by immersion is a mandatory step in the plan of salvation, uniting a believer with Christ's death and resurrection (Acts 2:38, Romans 6:4).
- Requirement of Faith: Faith and baptism are bound together as Jesus' explicit command for salvation (Mark 16:16).
3. Mandate for Worship
- A Cappella Singing: Worship utilizes vocal praise exclusively, making melody in the heart to God without instrumental accompaniment (Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16).
- Communion: The Lord's Supper is observed as a vital act of remembrance, proclaiming the Lord's death until He returns (1 Corinthians 11:23–26).
4. Mandate for Evangelism & Global Mission
- The Great Commission: The church is commanded to go into all nations, making disciples and baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:18–20).
- Ambassadors of Reconciliation: Christians serve as ambassadors for Christ, carrying the message that reconciles mankind to God (2 Corinthians 5:19).
5. Financial Structure to Support the Mission
- The Weekly Collection: Congregations collect funds into a treasury every Sunday to support the mission (1 Corinthians 16:1–2).
- Supporting the Workers: The church body actively funds preachers and evangelists so they may focus entirely on proclaiming the gospel (1 Corinthians 9:14, Philippians 4:15–16).
- Purposeful Giving: This support relies on the cheerful, voluntary giving of individual members (2 Corinthians 9:7).
The Flip Coin Blueprint: Breaking Caesar’s System
We are currently operating within a centralized financial system that emphasizes worldly hustle and stress. As a New Creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), we are launching "Flip Coin" to redirect resources toward God’s Kingdom.
1. The Name: "Flip Coin"
While the world views "flipping a coin" as gambling, we use "Flip" to mean turning the tables on traditional systems. We are utilizing Bitcoin technology as a tool for the Kingdom rather than a tool for greed.
2. Your Role: Kingdom Ambassador
Your secular employment is a foreign assignment. While you earn income within the current system, your primary job description is the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19)—building the community and making disciples.
3. The Flow: Stewardship with Open Hands
Unlike the world's tendency to hoard out of fear, Flip Coin operates with an open hand. Resources are routed to help brothers, fund the ministry, and build community infrastructure. By remaining a distribution center for blessings, you ensure a continuous flow of resources.
4. Absolute Sovereignty
By committing to the Ministry of Reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18), your wealth is protected by the Creator. While human systems may face instability, a Kingdom citizen's inheritance remains secure.
Please let me know if this layout captures the correct tone for the vision, or if we should adjust the wording to better suit the community.
Best regards,
Charles Scott
